Guns of Boom ran stutter-free, while I was able to bump Asphalt 9 up to high settings with only the occasional frame rate stutter. Of course, neither game is at its best on the BlackBerry Key2 LE’s pokey screen. Reaching your thumb across the keyboard to access the screen proves seriously awkward. Related: Best smartphones Interestingly, Asphalt 9 went so far as to detect the keyboard, and it actually activates manual controls by default. Which sounds great, until you realise that the steering controls have been mapped according to the keyboard’s regular portrait alignment, not when it’s tipped over 90 degrees.
When it comes to storing such apps and media, you get a choice of 32GB or 64GB of internal space and there’s a microSD slot for expansion purposes. We’ve seen cheaper phones packing 64GB as standard but it’s an adequate provision. BlackBerry Key2 LE – Software BlackBerry and owner TCL is well into its Android phase at this stage, which means that the BlackBerry Key2 LE runs on Google’s popular mobile OS rather than BlackBerry’s own. Die-hard BlackBerry fans might beg to disagree but we feel that this is a good thing in terms of user experience. It’s certainly a massive improvement when it comes to app selection and quality.

BlackBerry Hub on the Key2 LE Besides, you still get custom BlackBerry flourishes in here. BlackBerry Hub, for example, continues to assemble all of your incoming messages into one linear list. Yes, it can get rather busy, and yes, tapping on individual messages takes you to the individual apps anyway. But there’s still something faintly magical about seeing all of your emails, text messages, WhatsApp threads and Slack exchanges existing together in the same space.

Pulling down in the app to see your next few calendar entries is another genuinely useful touch. The BlackBerry flavour continues with the provision of the DTEK security app, which monitors the system for weaknesses and makes suggestions where appropriate. Those aforementioned keyboard shortcuts are another case of the old BlackBerry way of doing things being grafted onto Android, and the transplant is largely a successful one. Related: Best Android Phones Outside of these areas, this is a commendably clean take on Android. The home screen layout, menus and icons are all largely as you’d find on a stock Android device.

The multitasking menu is a lot more delineated and the app tray contains widgets and shortcuts but that’s about it for core tinkering. It feels a bit like an older version of Android and we’d suggest that it might be time for a stylistic refresh in-keeping with Google’s own recent efforts. But the BlackBerry Key2 LE’s software also feels reassuringly BlackBerryish in its no-nonsense approach. BlackBerry Key2 LE – Camera You don’t buy a BlackBerry if a decent camera is one of your smartphone priorities.
That fact has remained consistent through the brand’s peak years and into its current hybrid form. The BlackBerry Key2 LE was never likely to be the phone that changed that, and it neither exceeds nor falls particularly short of our expectations. It’s a dual-camera affair, with a 13-megapixel f/2.2 main shooter aided by a 5-megapixel f/2.4 assistant.
This humble set-up is capable of capturing some pleasant-looking photos in strong lighting, with generally accurate colours and okay detail. Occasionally, though, the odd peculiar visual artefact will appear, like the curious grainy sky effect shown below. HDR is set to auto by default. While its use is fairly subtle and restrained, however, I found that it frequently failed to dial down very bright areas of the picture.
Which is kind of what it’s there for. BlackBerry has also worked in its own portrait mode, which explains the second camera. It’s not the worst implementation I’ve ever seen but I still didn’t feel drawn to use it regularly. While the delineation between sharp subject and blurry background was good enough, the bokeh effect seemed rather forced and artificial.
